Signature Partnership:

Strengthening Communities

In 2008, Toyota and the National Audubon Society launched TogetherGreen™, a program funded by a $20 million grant from Toyota. The TogetherGreen program trains Fellows to be the environmental leaders of tomorrow, awards Innovation Grants for conservation projects, and supports Volunteer Days.

At Toyota, we believe an
auto company can also
be a vehicle for change.
That's why we support
programs focused on
environmental initiatives
that help strengthen
diverse communities
across North America.

Our support is focused in two key areas:
environmental stewardship—helping to
conserve resources and protect nature, and
environmental education.

Our support in these key areas stems from
Toyota's Guiding Principles and Earth Charter,
which encourage us to contribute to the
development of local communities by building
close and cooperative relationships. The
partnerships we develop with universities,
nonprofits and community organizations are
an integral part of our commitment to the
environment. We help create programs that
support our corporate values of respect for
people and growth in harmony with nature.

Our corporate values are grounded in the Toyota
Way. Practicing the Toyota Way helps us build
more than quality vehicles; it also help us develop
strong, lasting partnerships. The concept of REFLECTIONThe Japanese word hansei, translated loosely as reflection, is what happens when one of our employees stops to examine a completed project. Hansei is both an intellectual and emotional introspection. The employee must recognize the gap between the current situation and the ideal, take responsibility for finding solutions, and commit to a course of action. When a project finishes at Toyota, we use hansei to evaluate what went well and what did not. We then methodically try to preserve what went well and create countermeasures for what did not. These lessons are incorporated into the standard process so that when we repeat it, we improve over the last time. Finally, we share these insights with our colleagues so that they can learn as well, in a process we call yokoten.hansei, or reflection, is important to the success
of our philanthropic programs. Hansei teaches
us to examine the programs we support closely
to determine where the need is greatest, which
initiatives were successful and which could be
improved. We give our partners our expertise
and our time to make every relationship the best
it can be.

Toyota has contributed millions of dollars,
countless vehicles and hundreds of thousands
of volunteer hours to help conserve and protect
the environment in North America. The impact
of our programs has local, national and even
international reach. We describe a number of our
partnerships below.

Signature Partnership: National Audubon Society

In 2008, Toyota and the National Audubon Society launched TogetherGreen™, a program
funded by a $20 million grant from Toyota. The TogetherGreen program trains Fellows to
be the environmental leaders of tomorrow, awards Innovation Grants to fund conservation
projects across the United States, and supports Volunteer Days to offer individuals an
opportunity to give back to their communities.

TogetherGreen has fostered diverse partnerships involving organizations, communities and
people from all walks of life. To date, TogetherGreen has funded more than 1,500 partnerships
between organizations such as public and private schools and universities, corporations,
foundations, Native American Tribes, community service and faith-based organizations, and
local, state and national parks and agencies. The program has also trained 400 conservation
leaders—people from varied backgrounds such as educators, scientists, military veterans and
artists, to name a few—who in turn have mobilized more than 310,000 people to reduce energy
use, protect wildlife habitat and improve water quality in every state in America.

Since 2008, nearly 900 volunteer events have taken place across the country involving
more than 36,000 volunteers, including Toyota employees in New York, Kentucky, Indiana,
Missouri, Texas and California. TogetherGreen volunteers have given over 333,000 hours to
plant more than 135,000 trees and shrubs and improve or restore almost 13,000 acres. The
value of the volunteer hours alone is estimated to be $6.9 million.

Many of the projects funded through TogetherGreen are featured in a new campaign called
"Exit the Highway." Toyota and the National Audubon Society teamed up this past summer
to ask Americans to "Exit the Highway" and drive the scenic route to discover natural
wonders. The campaign highlighted nearly 100 nature destinations in more than 60 cities and
encouraged people to visit Audubon centers, TogetherGreen conservation projects, Toyota's
plants in Kentucky and Texas, and favorite nature spots recommended by Toyota's own dealers,
executives and engineers. For every pledge to Exit the Highway and for every photo of a nature
stop shared online, participants were entered to win a Toyota Prius v. Over 48,000 people
entered; the winner of the Prius v was Tony Riddle from Cincinnati, Ohio.

In November of 2011, Toyota received the Keesee Award for its support of the TogetherGreen
program. Audubon New York established the Keesee Award in 2001 to honor individuals
whose contributions, talent and commitment to the environment have advanced conservation
and environmental education. For more information on TogetherGreen, please visit

Innovation Grant Supports Lights Out Minneapolis

Over 350 species of birds travel along the so-called "Mississippi Flyway," which meanders
through some of the most beautiful wild lands and farmland in the United States. Hundreds
of millions of birds are killed when they fly into windows in the U.S. each year. Audubon
Minnesota has documented mortality in over 100 species along the Mississippi Flyway alone.
Using this research, they have created a plan to combat unnecessary bird fatalities.

One simple solution is to turn off building lights at night. With their TogetherGreen Innovation
Grants, Audubon Minnesota has worked with building owners and the government to convince
building managers to turn off their lights at night. Currently, 59 of the brightest buildings
on the Minneapolis and St. Paul skylines have "signed-on" to Lights Out and are turning off
their lights after midnight during both spring and fall migration. As a result of Lights Out
Minneapolis, new legislation was passed requiring all state-owned and leased buildings in the
state of Minnesota to turn off their lights at night.

To further expand their message, Audubon Minnesota is also targeting an audience of over
400 building owners, managers, designers and architects about the issue, using Bird-Safe
Building Guidelines. New York City Audubon and the City of Toronto are partners in helping
to replicate these design guidelines in their cities.

Togerthergreen Fellow Danni Washington

Daniell "Danni" Washington, a graduate of the University of Miami, founded the Big Blue &
You Foundation in 2009 to educate and empower youth to become stewards of this planet
through service learning, visual arts and media. In 2010, Danni became Director of the One
Water Workshop, a five-day filmmaking workshop created by the Miami World Cinema
Center (the first nonprofit film studio), where high school students create public service
announcements about water conservation issues.

As a TogetherGreen Fellow, Danni plans to expand the Big Blue & You Foundation and the
One Water Workshop deeper into Miami's urban community to reach at-risk high school
students. Selected at-risk high school students will have the opportunity to participate in this
five-day intensive training program that completely immerses students in the process of video
pre-production, production and post-production. Students will come away with finished public
service announcements about Florida aquatic resources, and they will serve as leaders for a
school-wide service project with the Reclamation Project, restoring mangrove, fresh water and
tropical hardwood hammock areas in Miami-Dade County. In addition, Danni plans to launch
an innovative online video series featuring local youth who are passionate about marine life to
encourage the community to take simple steps to protect the oceans.

By connecting inner city youth to the beauty and necessity of Florida's aquatic resources, she
believes it will increase the chances of improving local water quality in South Florida, which
will ultimately protect the biodiversity that makes Florida so unique. This 24-year old marine
biologist, world traveler and environmental advocate will continue to focus her energy on using
any creative medium to encourage today's young generation to love our natural environment,
ultimately ensuring a bright and sustainable future.

"It is tremendously empowering to have the support of Toyota and Audubon Society as a
TogetherGreen Fellow," says Danni Washington. "Just knowing that these global entities are
willing to invest in the efforts of grassroots environmental leaders encourages me to work
harder and inspire more Miami youth to protect our water resources."

TogetherGreen Fellow Danni Washington
is one of The Grio's 100 people making
history today and having a positive
impact on the African-American
community. She plans to expand the
Big Blue & You Foundation and the One
Water Workshop deeper into Miami's
urban community to reach at-risk
high school students.

TheGrio.com, a video-centric news community, selected Danni Washington as one of
The Grio's 100, a list of 100 people making history today and having a positive impact on
the African-American community. Danni was one of 10 people chosen in the Science and
Environment field for her achievements, including her TogetherGreen fellowship.

Environmental Stewardship

Arbor Day Foundation

In 2008, Toyota and the Arbor Day Foundation launched Tree Campus USA, a program that
recognizes college campuses that commit to five environmental standards to promote tree care
and community outreach. So far, 116 distinguished schools have received the Tree Campus
USA designation.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. are working in
partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation to launch an aggressive campaign to encourage
sustainability and tree planting at Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the
country. Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha are teaming up to help collegiate members
become environmental leaders on their respective campuses and ultimately achieve Tree
Campus USA recognition from the Arbor Day Foundation. The campaign entails planting trees
on seven campuses: Kentucky State University, Wilberforce University, Morehouse College,
Spelman College, the University of South Florida, Texas Southern University and Hampton
University. Toyota will support five of these tree-planting events, in addition to the 10 events
already held each year on Tree Campus schools.

During 2011, the Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota helped campuses throughout the country
plant 30,000 trees. Tree Campus USA colleges and universities have invested more than
$22 million in campus forest management.

Evergreen Learning Grounds

Toyota in Canada and its dealerships have partnered with Evergreen for over a decade, working
together to transform Canadian school grounds into natural learning environments. In mid-
2012, Toyota and Evergreen celebrated an important milestone: The Evergreen Learning
Grounds program reached its one millionth Canadian child.

The Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program offers students a close, hands-on
relationship with the natural world while educating them about the importance of restoring,
protecting and celebrating it. In the process, students transform their traditional school
grounds—often a combination of asphalt and turf—into natural learning spaces featuring
trees, wildflowers and shaded areas.

The Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds Program offers schools access to landscape design
expertise and a resource library featuring how-to guides and information on native plants. It
also provides interactive workshops for teachers and others to show them how they can weave
the natural space into their curriculum.

Since the program's inception, almost 6.7 million people have benefitted from a Toyota
Evergreen Learning Grounds project. Nearly 80 percent of Toyota dealers across Canada are
partnered with schools in their local communities. Frenchman's Bay Public School is one
of six schools in the Durham Region to benefit from the program in the 2011/2012 school
year. Grade four students play and learn in three naturalized areas, including a shady grove
and two outdoor classrooms built with two-year funding support from the local dealership,
Pickering Toyota.

Household Hazardous Waste Collections

Several of Toyota's North American locations host household hazardous and electronic waste
collections for employees and surrounding communities as part of Earth Day celebrations.
These collections ensure proper recycling or disposal for household items such as appliances,
cell phones, paint, batteries, pesticides, automotive fluids, furniture stains and bathroom
cleaners. Some sites have added clothing and toys to their collection days and donate these to
Goodwill. The following Toyota locations hosted a collection event in 2012:

Plant in Georgetown, Kentucky

Plant in Princeton, Indiana

Plant in Huntsville, Alabama

Plants in Cambridge and Woodstock, Ontario

Canadian sales headquarters in Toronto, Ontario

U.S. sales headquarters in Torrance, California

Parts distribution center in Torrance, California

Parts center in Ontario, California

Vehicle distribution center in Long Beach, California

Together, we collected approximately 140,000 pounds of material during these events either
for donation or for proper recycling and disposal. Our Georgetown, Kentucky, plant has been
hosting "SupeRecycling Day" since 1994, and has collected and recycled nearly 300 tons of
electronic and household hazardous waste.

These events demonstrate how Toyota extends its commitment to waste reduction beyond its
production activities. "Providing this service is a way for Toyota to show its appreciation to
the community," Georgetown plant President Wil James said. "We all have to do our part. And
when we do, we make a difference well beyond our own backyard."

National Public Lands Day

For the 14th year, Toyota sponsored National Public Lands Day (NPLD) in partnership with
the National Environmental and Education Foundation (NEEF). This national program,
held annually in September, is the largest hands-on volunteer event to improve and
enhance public lands.

In addition to providing sponsorship, Toyota encourages employees to get involved in NPLD
activities by volunteering in their local parks, forests, rivers, beaches, shorelines and other
public lands. During NPLD 2011, more than 3,100 Toyota employees volunteered at 40 different
sites in 20 states and U.S. territories.

In fact, more than 400 Toyota team members from our new plant in Blue Springs, Mississippi,
celebrated NPLD in 2011 by working together to clean and protect five sites. At Natchez Trace
Parkway, volunteers cleaned the area and its buildings and removed invasive weeds to preserve
native plants. At Carver Elementary School, Toyota volunteers weeded and mulched the
school's rock garden, painted railings and removed brush, while at Tupelo High School debris
from the school's grounds was removed. At Oren Dunn Museum, volunteers washed antique
fire trucks and added siding to a barn.

Natchez Trace Parkway is one of five sites
in Tupelo that team members from our
Mississippi plant helped to clean up as
part of National Public Lands Day. More
than 400 team members volunteered their
time that day to help their community
clean and protect public lands.

During NPLD 2011, more than 170,000 volunteers maintained 1,500 miles of existing trails,
beautified stream beds, removed trash and invasive plants, and planted an estimated 100,000
trees, shrubs and native plants. These projects contributed an estimated $17 million in
improvements to federal, state and local public lands. For more information, please visit
www.PublicLandsDay.org.

In addition to sponsoring NPLD, Toyota will contribute $3 million over the next three years to
NEEF for the "Every Day Grants" program to improve the capacity of local organizations and
"friends groups" that support public lands everyday. The grant comes at a time when public
lands are in critical need of financial and volunteer support.

NEEF and Toyota's support for public lands serves as an excellent example for public-private
partnerships, which are key to lasting conservation solutions for our nation. Such partnerships
also support the goals of America's Great Outdoors initiative, a grassroots approach to
protecting lands and waters and connecting all Americans to their natural and cultural heritage.

"Thousands of local nonprofit organizations are answering the call to help their public lands
maintain grounds and trails, and generally keep up with growing interest in their use locally
and nationally," said Diane Wood, president of NEEF. "But many groups lack the necessary
resources to be as effective as they possibly can. Toyota's gift unleashes the power of these
groups to serve their local parks and lands by increasing their capacity to establish lasting
organizations, recruit volunteers and involve their communities."

Waterkeeper Alliance

Founded in 1999 by environmental attorney and activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and several
veteran Waterkeeper Organizations, Waterkeeper Alliance is a global movement of on-thewater
advocates who patrol and protect over 100,000 miles of rivers, streams and coastlines
in North and South America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa. In 2011, Toyota provided a
$200,000 grant to support the SPLASH Event Series. SPLASH is a national recreational event
series that raises awareness of the importance of waterways.

The SPLASH Series takes place on five waterways around the United States, and each of
the SPLASH events raises funds to support Waterkeeper Alliance and its local Waterkeeper
organizations by engaging local citizens and clean-water enthusiasts in water-based activities
like swimming, paddling and boating. The first season of SPLASH events kicked off with
the Hackensack River Paddle in October of 2011 in Hackensack, New Jersey. Events have
also been held in Santa Monica, California; Miami, Florida; Charleston, South Carolina; and
Washington, D.C.

Wyland Foundation

Since 2009, Toyota has supported the Wyland Foundation, a nonprofit founded by renowned
marine artist Wyland that helps children and families across the United States recognize the
importance of healthy oceans and waterways. This year, Toyota and the Wyland Foundation
celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act by launching the first National Mayor's
Challenge for Water Conservation. With support from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and a number of other organizations, the campaign challenges mayors nationwide to
inspire their residents to conserve natural resources by taking a free, online pledge to save
water during Earth Month.

Nearly 20,000 people from 1,000 cities in all 50 states made online pledges to save a total of
4.7 billion gallons of water over the next year, with a potential cost savings of $11.6 million.
Residents further pledged to reduce their use of single-use plastic water bottles by 1.1 million
bottles and eliminate 60,000 pounds of waste from entering watersheds.

Laguna Beach, California, resident Nika Shalala was the grand prize winner of the 2012
National Mayor's Challenge. Shalala became eligible for the grand prize drawing after Laguna
Beach was named among the 12 winning cities for the Mayor's Challenge. As the grand prize
winner, Shalala received a new Toyota Prius c. "We congratulate Nika for being this year's
grand prize winner," said artist and environmentalist Wyland, who spearheaded the initiative.
"With great support from partners like Toyota, we are able to expand the Mayor's Challenge
nationally this year to generate awareness about the importance of conservation for protecting
our environment, both for today and the future."

In addition to the grand prize of a Toyota Prius c, participants in the winning cities were
eligible for prizes that included custom-designed sprinkler systems from Rain Bird, EcoFlow®
Shower Heads from WaterPik, water-saving toilets from STERLING Plumbing, and 1,000 gift
cards for Lowe's® Home Improvement Stores. Prizes worth more than $50,000 were awarded.

2012 also marked the second anniversary of Toyota and Wyland's Earth Month Heroes, a
Southern California program that recognizes 30 exemplary citizens who find ground-breaking
ways to work toward sustaining a healthy planet. The Wyland Foundation, Toyota and regional
broadcast partner KCBS/KCAL made donations of $250 on behalf of the Earth Month Heroes
to deserving organizations in Southern California, with a $1,000 grand prize donation to
Plug-in America®.

Environmental Education

Lexus Eco Challenge

Lexus, in partnership with Scholastic, sponsors the annual Lexus Eco Challenge. Since the
program was created, the Lexus Eco Challenge has awarded $4 million in scholarships and
grants to empower middle and high school students to learn about the environment and take
action to improve it. The program entered its sixth year in 2012; more than 25,000 students
have participated to date, learning how they can make a difference in the world around them.

In addition to the ongoing contest, the Lexus Eco Challenge provides educational materials
designed by Scholastic that integrate creative lesson plans into the classrooms to help teach
students about the environment. For each challenge, the website (www.scholastic.com/lexus)
has lesson plans and teacher instructions including questions to help guide a discussion about
the current challenge topic, facts about the topic, and guidelines for a specific classroom project.

In 2011, "The Green Musketeers" from Jericho High School in Jericho, New York, and the
"One-Towel Wonders" from SCAPA Bluegrass in Lexington, Kentucky, were the Grand Prize
winners. "The Green Musketeers" created their own filtration system with the goal of patenting
it, selling it and using profits toward developing systems in third-world countries. The "One-Towel Wonders" demonstrated how a simple idea—using one towel per person, per week—would benefit the environment. For their efforts, each grand prize winner received $30,000, of
which the school received a grant for $7,000, the teacher advisor got a $3,000 grant, and the
students shared $20,000 in scholarships.

The eight First Place teams each won $15,000 with $3,000 for the school, $2,000 for the teacher
advisor and $10,000 in scholarships for the students. The winning teams were:

"Team Aqua," Arboga Elementary School, Arboga, California
Raised money and awareness around the world for water conservation programs.

"Carbonators," Clark Magnet High School, La Crescenta, California
Used ArcGIS to analyze smog levels around the world and how smog impacts health.

"The Trophic," Miami Palmetto Senior High School, Miami, Florida
Focused on reducing carbon dioxide emissions through programs to benefit the land, air
and water in their community.

"WEACT," Leilehua High School, Wahiawa, Hawaii
Launched an environmental awareness program in the community to culminate in the
construction of a mural.

"Purpledinowolficorns," Tates Creek Middle School, Lexington, Kentucky
Developed a proposal to the mayor about involving the community to improve the city.

"WMS Carbon Busters," Whitehall Middle School, Whitehall, Michigan
Encouraged the school, community and state to pass on bottled water and drink
tap water.

"The Lexus Eco Challenge is an integral part of the environmental studies curriculum at
SCAPA," said Ashlie Beals, teacher advisor for the "One-Towel Wonders." "For the past
five years, all of my eighth grade students have worked in teams to create and implement
innovative campaigns to encourage others to make one small change that can have a large
positive impact on our environment. During the challenge, students sharpen their oral and
written communication skills, utilize many forms of technology and work together actively and
enthusiastically to solve real-life problems. My younger students eagerly look forward to their
chance to participate in the challenge when they are in eighth grade. I can't thank Lexus and
Scholastic enough for offering this tremendous opportunity to my students."

Toyota International Teacher Program

The Toyota International Teacher Program is a fully-funded professional development
program for U.S. secondary school teachers of all subjects. Administered by the Institute of
International Education and fully funded by Toyota, the program is in its 13th year. Teachers
participate in a two-week overseas study tour, during which they investigate environmental
and educational themes through site visits, lectures, service projects and collaborative projects
with local teachers. To date, more than 685 educators representing 47 states and the District of
Columbia have completed study tours to the Galápagos Islands, Costa Rica, Japan and South
Africa. Please see www.iie.org/toyota for more information.

The program supports and strengthens teachers' knowledge of environmental issues and their
understanding of global conservation issues. Upon returning to their classrooms, teachers apply
what they have learned to create interdisciplinary, solution-focused educational approaches.
The teachers also participate in professional conferences, seminars and community workshops
to share what they have learned. It is estimated that more than 650,000 students have benefited
from these travel programs and expanded curriculums.

In November 2011, educators traveled to Costa Rica for the fifth time. During their travels
to San Jose, Guacimo, Sarapiqui and La Fortuna, they participated in activities highlighting
the relationship between Costa Rican history, culture and the environment. They toured
sustainable agriculture projects at Earth University and engaged in service projects at La Selva
Biological Station, one of the most studied tropical rain forests in the world. Area experts
educated participating teachers on local development, agronomy and conservation practices.
Other activities included studying research methods at Earth University and visiting rural
Costa Rican primary and secondary schools to observe classes and interact with teachers
and students. All activities were aimed at exploring the role of environmental education in
spreading environmental awareness.

A group of educators traveled to
Costa Rica in late 2011 as part of the
Toyota International Teacher Program.
The activities during this two-week study
tour were aimed at exploring the role of
environmental education in spreading
environmental awareness.

Through the Toyota International Teacher Program, teachers are helping local communities
find solutions to global problems, and their students are being exposed to a global experience
that enhances their understanding of environmental issues in their own communities and
around the world.

Spotlight: Titp Alumnus Comes Full Circle

During the trip to Costa Rica in 2011, educators were accompanied by 2009 Toyota International Teacher Program alumnus,
Jason Shields. As an on-site Discussion Leader, Jason provided support and mentorship, and facilitated group debriefs to
stimulate creative thinking among the participants.

"As a Discussion Leader, I had the opportunity to share and expand on the action plan that I developed from my first trip,
and to inspire others to develop action plans that would change their classroom, school and community," said Jason. "It was
truly an honor and a privilege to be part of Toyota's unique teacher professional development program for a second time."

Jason teaches math and engineering at Kings High School in South Lebanon, Ohio. His goal is to help produce the next
generation of green engineers and inventors by placing his students at the forefront of green technologies and sustainable
engineering. Upon his return from the program in 2009, he gathered a team of eight students to participate in the Lemelson
MIT InvenTeams competition. His team was selected as one of 14 teams across the nation to receive a $10,000 grant for
their idea to create backpack hydro-electric generators for people in developing countries.

Jason has created a new engineering program at Kings High School. His students are acting as small engineering firms.
They are developing solutions to problems using funding from budgets approved by the school board. As a result of his
students' projects, the school district installed water refilling stations around the school, saving tens of thousands of plastic
water bottles from ending up in landfills. His students also developed a Java™ program that transfers electric, water and gas
meter data to the district's online ENERGY STAR® Portfolio to help the district monitor and conserve resources.

"The Toyota International Teacher Program has been instrumental to me during the creation of my new engineering
program at Kings High School," said Jason. "Both of my trips to Costa Rica have offered a true paradigm shift resulting
in the development of new lessons and projects for my school and community." Jason's students will be piloting a
new program, inspired by the Dean of Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, to complete their freshman year as
engineering majors while still in high school. The students will earn transcript credit for engineering, math, English and
physics while at Kings High school, allowing them to earn their entire engineering masters degree and coop experience
within four years after high school.

this program.

Local Community Engagement

Toyota partners with numerous local community organizations where we live and work.
These partnerships allow our employees to volunteer in their communities and share their
knowledge and expertise.

Toyota is proud of the volunteering and philanthropy of its employees across North America.
Our employees take what they learn about energy saving, water conservation and recycling,
and apply these practices at home and in their communities. Our employees embody our
Action Guidelines, which direct us to always be concerned about the environment and to
actively participate in our communities.

Here are just a few examples of how we engage with our local communities:

In honor of United Nations' World Water Day, the Water Environment Federation and
the International Water Association announced Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana
was one of two North American recipients of the third annual Water Champion
awards. Initiated in 2009, the Water Champions awards recognize program participants
for outstanding achievement in boosting awareness of water quality issues through
involvement in the World Water Monitoring Challenge™ (WWMC). Winners were
chosen by a subcommittee of the WWMC regional panel of judges, comprised of water
industry professionals from around the world. Toyota partners with Gibson, Vanderburgh
and Warrick county schools to share the WWMC program with sixth-grade science
students and annually involves more than 2,200 students in the program. More than
10,500 area students have participated in the program since 2004. Program participants
sample about 100 different lakes, rivers and streams across southwestern Indiana.
Monitoring data then is uploaded into the WWMC database.

Team members from our plant in
Princeton, Indiana, worked with sixth
graders from Gibson, Vanderburgh
and Warrick county schools to sample
water bodies during World Water
Monitoring Day. In recognition of this
work, our Indiana plant received a
Water Champion award.

Toyota's research and development center in Michigan has been partnering with Habitat
for Humanity for the past four years. In 2011, 144 volunteers gave 1,152 hours of their
time to provide a hardworking and deserving family the opportunity to own a home.
They worked on a bungalow-style home in Ypsilanti to install new siding, windows,
doors, drywall, cabinetry and flooring. The house was renovated to achieve an ENERGY
STAR® five star rating, which will save the new homeowners thousands of dollars in
energy and water costs. On average, Toyota's renovations have been 40 percent more
energy-efficient than a brand new home, which keeps an estimated 4,500 pounds of
greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere annually. Toyota's partnership with Habitat for
Humanity is also active in Canada, where two teams of volunteers worked on homes
in Toronto built to R-2000 standards. R-2000 is a voluntary performance standard for
energy efficiency, indoor air quality and environmental responsibility administered by
Natural Resources Canada.

During Earth Week, 25 employees from Toyota's Canadian sales headquarters ventured
into their local communities for "20 Minute Makeovers" of a nearby ditch, a ravine and a
playground. They collected 44 bags of trash.

The Keep Jackson Beautiful Commission presented Bodine Aluminum in Jackson,
Tennessee, with the Environmental Stewardship Award for Industry during the 2012
Mayor's Civic Pride celebration. The Mayor's Civic Pride Awards were established in
1990 as an effort to congratulate and publicly acknowledge businesses and individuals
making a positive contribution to the environment. Bodine was recognized for picking up
debris in the Cypress Grove Park after the 100-year flood and assisting in the cleanup and
creation of the children's section of Liberty Garden's Memorial Park. Bodine was also the
first industry in Madison County to participate in the Adopt-A-Highway Program. The
first cleanup in April 2012 resulted in the collection of over 800 pounds of debris. The
Environmental Stewardship Award follows the recognition in 2011 by the City of Jackson
and the Jackson Recreation and Parks Department for the example Bodine sets as a
corporate citizen within the Jackson-Madison County community.

In April 2012, 75 second-grade students from Northern Elementary, a local Scott County
school, visited the Environmental Education Center | Nature Trail at Toyota's Kentucky
plant for a special Environmental Field Day. Students from the school participated
in activities led by guest organizations, including Louisville Zoo, Kentucky Fish &
Wildlife, and the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension, among others. Also in
attendance was "Trip-R," Toyota's environmental mascot who helped students with waste
segregation at lunchtime. Trip-R, short for Triple-R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), visited
the students at the school earlier in the week to teach about recycling. All students were
provided with T-shirts, recycled notebooks and reusable water bottles, which each student
packed for their field trip to the plant, reducing the need for disposable drink containers.
Team members from the plant's Community Relations and Environmental departments
were on hand to support the event.

Second-grade students from Northern
Elementary visited the Environmental
Education Center | Nature Trail at
our Georgetown, Kentucky, plant for
a special Environmental Field Day.
Students participated in activities led
by team members from our plant as
well as guest organizations, including
Louisville Zoo, Kentucky Fish &
Wildlife, and the University of Kentucky
Cooperative Extension.

Spotlight: Employees from Toyota's Cambridge Plant Give Back

Toyota's Cambridge plant celebrated its 25th year in 2011. Approximately 6,500 team members assemble the Toyota Corolla,
Toyota Matrix and the Lexus RX 350. Team members at Toyota's manufacturing plant in Cambridge, Ontario, volunteer
their time and expertise to help their community in a number of ways:

A small patch of green at the Cambridge plant is known as the Giving Garden. The garden began in 2009 under
the direction of Japanese master gardener Kaz Matsubayashi. With his guidance, and using traditional Japanese
techniques, a handful of team members from the plant coaxed vegetables to grow. In 2011, 80 team members worked
in the garden and produced 360 kilograms (740 pounds) of vegetables including potatoes, beets, lettuce, cucumbers,
tomatoes, radishes and onions. The harvest went to St. John's Kitchen to be used in meals served at the downtown
Kitchener Homeless Shelter, and to women's shelters in Kitchener and Cambridge. The shelters also provide
instructional cooking, canning and freezing sessions based on the vegetables donated.

the harvest–360 kilograms
(740 pounds) of produce–was
donated to St. John's Kitchen to
be used in meals served at the
downtown Kitchener Homeless
Shelter and at the women's shelters
in Kitchener and Cambridge.

In May 2011, our plants experienced a production slow-down as a result of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami
disasters in Japan and the resulting parts shortage. We took this opportunity to launch the Community Support
Program. Over 1,000 team members volunteered to support the community by painting, tree planting and cleaning.
Groups of team members enthusiastically tackled projects like planting over 3,000 trees for the Grand River
Conservation Authority in Cambridge. A group also went to Shade's Mills Conservation Area in Cambridge for a
day to paint the exterior of the Toyota Nature Center, along with other structures by the Ball Diamond, the beach and
shelters along the trails.

Our Cambridge volunteers contributed to beautification of their community during their fifth Adopt-A-Road event.
The plant adopted the three-kilometer stretch of Fountain Street in front of the plant in 2009. Volunteers have
been conducting bi-annual cleanup events ever since. The crew has more than doubled since the first event. This
has allowed the ambitious group to expand their efforts to a wider area surrounding the Cambridge facilities to "sweep-it-clean."

Coffee cups in the Cambridge plant cafeteria are made of compostable material; however, the lids for these cups are not. This means the lids should not be placed in the compost receptacle with the coffee cups; instead, they should
be placed in a separate recycling bin. The plant decided to offer to make quarterly donations to registered children's
charities to reward team members for spending the extra time to separate the cup and the lid and place them into
the correct receptacles. This program has had great success. Organizations receiving the quarterly "Lids for Kids" donations of $2,500 have included Camp Discovery (for children with diabetes), the Cambridge Self Help Food Bank for their "Penny Harvest" program, and Strong Start, an organization in Waterloo Region that helps young children learn to read.

This is just a sampling of the activities that team members at our Cambridge plant engage in every year. Thanks to their
volunteer work and their commitment to kaizen, or continuous improvement, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada was
selected as one of Canada's Greenest Employers 2012 by the editors of the "Canada's Top 100 Employers" project.
This special designation recognizes employers that are leaders in creating a culture of environmental awareness in
their organizations.

"The wide diversity of activities exemplifies the major contributions our team members make to the community by
sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm," said Fred Volf, Vice President of Manufacturing and Environmental Director
at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. "This engagement fosters environmental awareness not just here, but also in
the local community." Last year, more than 180 charitable groups and organizations received financial and volunteer
support from our Cambridge plant. The support we show for our community gives voice to who we are as a global
enterprise, the values we embody, and the good that we are striving to accomplish.
